GBP/USD has more room to rise after Parliament takes control

GBP/USD  is trading around  1.3200  after Parliament voted to hold indicative votes on Wednesday. Ahead of these critical Brexit  deliberations, the pound is looking for a new direction, and the upside may be more appealing.

The  Technical Confluences Indicator  shows that cable enjoys significant support at  1.3197where we see a dense cluster that consists of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the Simple Moving Average 100-15m, the SMA 50-15m, the SMA 5-1one-day, the SMA 10-1h, the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle, and the BB one-day Middle.

Resistance is also close by, but it is somewhat weaker at  1.3216. This is the convergence of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, the previous 4h-high, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, and the SMA 10-one-day.

The initial upside target is  1.3245  which is the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1 and the previous one-day high. Further up, 1.3290 is the PP one-day R2.

Looking down, significant support awaits at  1.3175  where we see the confluence of the BB 15min-Lower, the BB 1h-Lower, the BB 4h-Middle.

This is how it looks on the tool:

Confluence Detector

The Confluence Detector finds  exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences.  The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a  congestion of indicators,  moving averages,  Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence  adjacents  price levels. This means that one  price level without any indicator  or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
